My first ever roller coaster

My dad clutched my arm with fear. You're probably wondering how I got into this situation. Well it all started on a nice summers day, when I decided to go on my first ever roller coaster. What made it even worse was the fact that it was the world’s biggest loop the loop. I stepped up onto the big roller cart, my knees were weak and my heart was thumping. I plonked my bum down on the hard cold seat. Suddenly I saw this big metal thing go over my head and down to my belly button. “Was it a seatbelt?“ I wondered. I saw my dad on the side. He had nothing beneath him. As they started counting down I could feel my inside’s tighten. 3, 2, 1 whoosh! Off we go. I could feel the G forces holding me back. Then all of a sudden I remembered that once you started, you couldn't just say I want to get off now - you had to go for the the whole time. No! I gasped for air, my lungs were blown. I only blinked for one second and ahh! I was dangling out of the sky. My stomach felt like jelly .Oh no my bum slipped. Was I going to live!? I clutched my dad’s arm so tight I thought it was going to fall off. I stopped clutching my dad’s arm because I was scared it was going to fall off . We were nearly at the end when I heard a crack. ‘What was it?’ I wondered. I looked over at my brother and his finger was crooked . I kept on yelling at him put it back in place!!! When we stopped Oscar got enough courage to pop it back in place. Pop! as soon as we got out of the seat
I said to my dad can we do it again.

For my cheeky writing I think my punctuation was multistructural because I used full stops and commas, but I did mistake some of the commas for full stops.
I was learning that when you use the bright sparks words, it made it more interesting. My next steps are to put the commas and full stops in the right place.

There was a small village in the middle of nowhere, where I would go when I was tired. The water was as green as an emerald stone.
I would go searching in the water for monsters and mutant fish with scary coral, that if you touch it you will die instantly. There are old houses made out of giant pumpkins and houses made out of dusty ragged wood, stores with no point of opening. Skeletons, monsters, ghosts and zombies live there . People will go searching and go on adventures like I do there but not all of them come back. Either they turn into food or turn into them and that's not good. Nobody likes to dream about this land but I sure do because you can go so many adventures, like going to a haunted play where people make you jump out of your skin, or go swimming in the river, hide from monsters. There a heaps of adventures. It is land of Halloween. That will haunt you forever.

Week 1: Starting to think about science: Gathering and Interpreting Data.
Today I have placed myself at unistructural for gathering data because if I get shown how I can observe experiments. For inferencing I put myself at unistructural because I have an idea what it means but I’m not sure if it's correct .

Week 2: Balloon Rocket experiment
Today in the balloon rocket experiment I thought my observations and inferences were multistructural because they were in all the right places but they might not be connected to each other. My goal for next time is to start connecting my ideas to each other, put them in the right places, so that my observations and inferences are accurate and make sense and maybe back myself a bit more cause I keep on thinking it wasn't going to work.

Week 3: Drag
This week we focused on drag for science. I observed that when…

This term we learned about how to be a responsible citizen. When we first started I thought that on the rubric I was unistructural because I picked up rubbish sometimes.

I think that I have definitely learnt a lot. I’m definitely much more of a responsible citizen now than I was, because I pick up rubbish way more often than I used to , return others property when I borrowed it , wear my hat everyday and be a helpful bystander, a good role model and I always do my school work and jobs. I would say that on the rubric I'm now relational because I used different strategies to be a responsible citizen and I know when and why to use them.

My project helps the community know how to take care of a young dog . Sadly yesterday I wasn't here so I missed out on talking and telling them about how to be a responsible pet owner. My challenges were deciding how to present my learning and finishing on time.

Overall I am very proud of my learning - this is a valuable thing to learn in life.
